diplomatic protection. >> so much to talk about. breaking, new details on the millionaire software titan at the target of a massive manhunt. our reporter tried to track him down at his home in belize. and the new phone call in which he's defending himself now. >> strange story there. and here, have you seen this video? this woman made headlines for driving around a school bus when it stopped to pick up kids. now, she is forced to hold up this sign. and we'll talk about it this morning. >> punishment. let's get right to our reporters working through the night to get the latest on that washington sex scandal, now going in so many directions. abc's senior foreign affairs correspondent, martha raddatz, starts us off. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. paula broadwell has surrounded herself with lawyers and has said nothing since the scandal broke five days ago. but for the first time we got a glimpse of her here in washington, d.c. overnight, we captured these images of paula broadwell, here

inside her brother's home, having a quick dinner and glass of wine. still silent about the accusations swirling around her. caught up in the storm, now, the highly-respected general who commands forces in afghanistan, john allen, accused of exchanging potentially inappropriate e-mails with tampa socialite, jill kelly. after the pentagon's dramatic announcement about allen earlier this week, overnight, the defense secretary teamed to be backing off. >> no one should leap to any conclusions here. general allen is doing an excellent job at isaf. he has my continued confidence. >> reporter: an echo of what the white house said tuesday. >> i can tell you that the president thinks very highly of general allen and his service to his country. as well as the job he's done in afghanistan. >> reporter: officials tell abc news, that the vast number of e-mails allen exchanged with jill kelly, who sparked the fbi

investigation into broadwell and petraeus, show no evidence of any sexual relations. but are friendly and, perhaps, a bit flirtatious. in one note, kelly telling allen, she saw him on tv. he responds, thanks, dear. you're a sweetheart. meanwhile, david petraeus' sudden departure as cia director, has created lots of questions on capitol hill. especially that looming issue, the attack in benghazi, on a cia facility there. some senators still want to question petraeus about what went wrong. >> i know that we're interested in hearing from him. probably in front of the intelligence committee, which i also sit on. >> reporter: it is possible that petraeus could eventually testify, george. but that will definitely not happen this week. >> congress ramping up the questions, even as the fbi continues to investigate possible crimes. and abc senior justice correspondent, pierre thomas, has exclusive details on that. good morning, pierre.

>> reporter: good morning, george. abc news has learned that paula broadwell, who allegedly had the affair with petraeus, is suspected of storing significant amounts of military document, including classified material, at her home, possibly in violation of federal law. a source familiar with the case tells abc news, broadwell admitted she took the documents from secure government buildings. the fbi demanded that all documents be given back. monday night when the agents descended on her home, it was a prearranged meeting. and the case is complicated by the fact that broadwell was authorized to see the documents because she was an intelligence officer in the military reserve. now, broadwell's fate is in the hands of prosecutors. what will prosecutors do? a lot depending on the nature of the documents. these are nervous days ahead for broadwell. >> what about the fbi agent that jill kelly originally went to. he was taken off the case. became something of a whistleblower. sent her pictures of him with his shirt off. >> reporter: he has been described as a veteran agent

with ten-plus years who has a solid career. he is under fbi scrutiny because he called members of congress to inform them about the petraeus case. that likely violated fbi vid lines, george. >> thanks very much. we've been hearing a lot about paula broadwell. but it was jill kelly's complaint to the fbi about receiving disturbing e-mails that started this entire scandal. brian ross has been tracking kelly's role in this case. brian? >> reporter: good morning. her detractors say 37-year-old jill kelly of tampa, is nothing more than a name-dropping, board socialite. but she got close to two of the most powerful men in the country. and they are paying a price for it. jill kelly spent the day at her home in tampa tuesday, not answering questions. but not really avoiding cameras, either. showing up in a bright, new outfit every day. as she looked out the window of her home, a television set could be seen in the background, with news coverage of the scandal, that has focused attention on who she is and how she ended up

in the middle of it all. the license plate on kelly's mercedes-benz shows she is an honorary consul for south korea. in a 911 phone call, she told the dispatcher that she deserved protection from the media outside because of that. >> i'm an honorary consul general. i have inviolability. i don't know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved, as well. because that's against a law to cross my property. >> reporter: kelly lives near macdill air force base, the home of central command. where friends say she ingratiated herself with the brass through parties and favor. >> jill is known as a gracious hostess, a vivacious individual. >> reporter: this picture was taken two years ago at a party at the kelly home. showing jill kelly's twin sister, natalie, general petraeus, jill's husband, scott, jill, and the general's wife, holly petraeus. >> there's no question, they were friends.

and no reason they wouldn't be friends. >> reporter: but despite her lavish entertaining, court documents reviewed by abc news show, that jill kelly and her husband have been sued at least nine times and face foreclosure on their home. the kelly home also served as the office for a charity she and her husband, a doctor, once set up for cancer victims, which spent tens of thousands of dollars on travel, meals and entertainment. kelly's twin sister, natalie, has her own legal and financial troubles and lost custody of her son in a contentious divorce proceeding in which she was able to get petraeus, as head of the cia and general allen, running the war in afghanistan, to write a letter to the judge on her behalf. one more indication of the connections between these powerful men and jill kelly. president obama is sure to be asked about this scandal when he holds his first postelection news conference today.

george and diane will be here at 1:00 p.m. eastern. josh elliott has the other stories. >> we begin with the breaking news overnight. a plane crashing into a neighborhood in jackson, mississippi, right into the house that is now in flames. a woman inside managed to escape just in time by jumping out the window. witnesses say they could hear the plane's engine sputtering in the moments before the crash. the three people onboard were killed. in the bitter irony, they were flying to a safety conference being held by the faa. and two washington snowboarders are finally safe this morning, after two nights stranded on mt. rainier. the two got caught in a sudden blizzard with no overnight gear and only a few crackers to eat. but after calling 911, they managed to build a snow cave and hunker down. >> you guys hunker together for a while? >> yes, we did. >> yeah. not going to lie. >> to keep warm, right? >> exactly. >> what stays in the cave, stays

in the cave. >> the rescue teams fought their way through chest-high snow to bring them dry clothes and snow sures for the trip down the mountain. and the furor of the power outages has claimed its victim. the head of the long island power company has resigned. and the governor is launching an investigation into the utility's slow response. thousands remain without power now 17 days after the storm. take a look at this. a broken piece of pipe installed during the 1930s is to blame for a thick, messy mudslide that swamped a suburban san francisco neighborhood. the swamp buried cars in daly city up to the wheel wells. jesse jackson jr. has left the mayo clinic for the second time. he is being investigated for allegedly misusing campaign

funds. finally, imagine if something could make a man more faithful. stop the straying and wandering eye. scientists say a hormone called oxytocin may do just that. researchers found when men in monogamous relationships were given the hormone, they kept their distance from women thought to be attractive. staying about six inches further away, compared to men who didn't get the hormone. george, don't look at me that way. >> you take it daily or as needed? >> how do you find oxytocin or whatever it is? >> i'll have that for you in a moment. >> wow. okay. josh, thanks very much. now, to our exclusive interview with paul ryan. mitt romney's running mate was sent back to congress instead of the white house last week. and he sat down with jon karl to talk about handling the loss and how he and the gop can pick up the pieces. >> reporter: the president wins

300 some electoral votes. every battleground state with the exception of north carolina. does barack obama now have a mandate? >> i don't think so because they also re-elected the house republicans. whether people intended or not, we have divided government. >> reporter: but there was one issue that the president campaigned on, it was raising taxes on the wealthy. every, single speech he gave. doesn't he have a mandate there? the top earners? >> well, seeing them pay more of their fair share as the president put it. >> you can do that through loopholes without compromising growth. but what we have learned, history and economics, is that you keep raising tax rates on job creators, it will cost us jobs. >> reporter: could you see yourself supporting a plan that raises tax rates? >> i don't want to raise taxes. >> reporter: you don't support it? >> i don't support raising tax rates. >> reporter: ryan talked to us about how the family took the loss. beginning with his 78-year-old mother. what did your mom tell you after

the loss? >> she was proud of me. >> reporter: she was a celebrity on the campaign trail. >> betty. she was proud of me. she gave me a hug and a kiss. >> reporter: was it hard on the kids? >> the kids were great. they were worried about leaving their school. >> reporter: they were glad they got to stay home. >> they were happy to be able to stay home. we live on the block we grew up on. my brother lives on the block from me. that was the upside of all of this. the downside, we didn't win the election. >> reporter: just a week after the election, ryan made it clear he is ready to get right back to work here in congress. disappointed by that loss, george. but also, returning with a much higher profile than he had before mitt romney tapped him as his running mate. >> he could have gained political capital. now, to the elaborate sting by lottery officials to catch two brothers. they made headlines that they had a winning ticket. but the pair is accused of scamming the real winner out of the jackpot. steve osunsami is here with the latest on that.

>> here's why when you have a clerk check a lottery ticket to see if you won, you should sign it first and then ask for it back. two brothers scammed one of their customers out of a winning tick ticket. and then, tried to claim the prize. andy ashcar claims he bought that winning ticket himself, in 2006, at a syracuse convenience store where he worked. and then, waited six, long, years to split the money with his brother. >> i would hope that at some point in the last six years, he had been convinced that she did marry him for love. >> reporter: lottery officials say that w clue. love or not, no one waits that long to claim $5 million. >> $5 million. >> waited until now. >> reporter: but they put out a detailed press release anyway, hoping it would lead them to the winner. prosecutors are calling the brothers cheats and crooks, saying they swindled the ticket from a poor, old customer,

authorities are calling john doe. a hard-working 49-year-old father of two, who is on top of the world this morning. in october of 2006, he was cashing in that winning ticket at the ashkar's corner store, confused by the number of zeros. >> he made a mistake of trusting the person who sold him the ticket. >> reporter: police say that andy told the man he won 5,000, as opposed to $5 million. and offered to pay him $4,000 on the spot to avoid taxes and other complications. john doe took the cash. >> for six years, he has lived a pedestrian life, struggling and working hard. and i would be just thrilled to death to see his life completely changed around. >> reporter: if convicted, 34-year-old andy ashkar could face up to 25 years for felony chargeles of criminal possession of stolen property. his 36-year-old brother, nayel, 15 years for grand larceny and

conspiracy to commit fraud. in a statement, the lawyers told the brothers adamantly maintain their innocence. and have the strong support of their families and friends. john doe told authorities he had a nagging feeling he was cheated that day. here's the happy ending to the story. any day he is expected to come forward and receive that $5 million prize. >> long overdue. >> he gets it even though the deadline passed? >> because he's the real winner. some heart-stopping video now. made even more startling by the fact that the driver behind the wheel is a prominent doctor, apparently high on booze and drugs and dressed for surgery. abc's rob nelson has the details. >> reporter: video from this fixed traffic camera, shows a driver seemingly out of control. watch this car barrel out of a grocery store parking lot and straight into traffic. watch again, slowed down. you see the car travel over the median, going airborne before violently striking a car, which

then slams into a truck. >> i got hammered. i thought it was the end of the world. i thought a bomb went off inside the car. >> reporter: behind the wheel, police say, was this woman, 57-year-old kristen howard, who prosecutors say was drunk and high on drugs. police say when howard was stopped, she was wearing scrubs. she first told them she was on her way to the hospital. the 78-year-old man she allegedly hit, taken, ironically enough, taken to the same e.r. where police say howard worked. police say they found prescription drugs in howard's car. prescriptions she apparently wrote for herself. >> prescribed from dr. howard to kristen howard. that certainly raises flags, your honor. >> reporter: howard has pleaded not guilty to seven charges, including driving under the influence, and drug violations. on monday, her attorney told a judge howard has been struggling with personal issues. >> has a reputation for trying to save lives. and was given the award of

doctor of the year, at wesley hospital in 2009. >> reporter: howard was released on her own recognizance but was relieved of her hospital duties. for "good morning america," rob nelson, abc news, new york. >> a lot of luck involved in a lot of people not getting hurt there. get's get the weather from sam. >> we start to look for pattern changes before we head into the holiday week. we're in the cold pattern for most of the country. luckily, by the time we get into next week, we have mild air and watch it shoot into the country. taking over most of the country. the jet stream riding high. there's two wet spots to worry about in the country. one of them is the northwest, watching a few storms come in. and we think we might have coastal storms running up the coastline next week. we have to plan this out and see how close they are. the mid-atlantic to the northeast, the other wet zone on the map. here's what's going on today. look at the nice, dry air that

moves in. okay, it's a little chilly. it's drier than it was yesterday. boston, 28 degrees. portland, 26. new york at 31. good morning, pittsburgh, at 33 degrees. detroit, about 22 for you. a quick look at the west coast. we'll show you it's nice and warm. 81 in l.a. 71 in san diego.

"wired" reporter, josh davis, is the only journalist in contact with him. >> he wanted people to believe he was dangerous so people won't attack him or harm him. >> reporter: despite that, davis says the 67-year-old insists he is innocent. according to davis, mcafee first hid from the police by burying himself in the sand, breathing through a cardboard box. >> i am unable to move. that's clear. all the police, all the bdf have my photo. it's a small country. i'm a white man with unique features. if i leave this house, i would

be identified instantly. >> reporter: mcafee made his fortune in the '80s, pioneering security. but after losing almost all of his fortune, he moved to belize, where he built a series of compounds. >> mcafee is clearly a complex and eccentric millionaire. just a very strange and paranoid world he lives in. >> reporter: to get a better sense, abc news traveled here, trying to track mcafee down. we found his house. hello? anybody home? he apparently posted men to guard his compound. >> he always had his gun. he has his gun. >> he's got his security personnel. his security guards with him. >> reporter: this morning, police in belize say they want to talk the mcafee and worry he's come unhinged. >> we worry about the state of mind, of course. >> reporter: mcafee says he's alone, without the guns, without the girlfriend he's been known for. without access to his biggest asset, this house, which he is selling for $1.5 million through

snowing outside opinion she don't care. >> reporter: maybe most frustrating, hardin refused to say a word, even a simple sorry. >> do you think you have to apologize to anybody. >> reporter: hardin did issue this statement to abc news. i broke traffic laws, the same as running a red light or texting while driving. all have the potential for a dangerous outcome. this is a learning experience for me and an example for my daughter. that if you make poor or bad choices, you have to suffer the consequences. shena hardin went be going forward anytime soon in her car. the judge suspended her driver's license for 30 days. and she has to pay $250 in court casts. >> is sorry so hard to say? >> i agree. how hard is that? >> all right. john muller. >> we wouldn't drive up on a curb to avoid a school bus, either. >> thank you. let's get to sam with the weather. >> we're going to start with pictures out of queensland, australia, for a total eclipse. they don't happen often. and when they do, only half the

globe can see them. it's hard to get everything lined up. when you do, the moon can really block the glare of the sun better than anything else. and they get a chance to study the hottest outer ring, the corona of the sun, and understand why it's such a powerful part of the sun. let's look at the board. here comes the front, down through florida. expect these thunderstorms and thunder showers to be rumbling today in the warm spots here, as the front will weaken and stall out, as they do this time of year. watch the low spinning towards the atlanta/charlotte area. in comes the milder air we've been talking about over the next couple of days for denver, dallas, chicago, atlanta. look at atlanta crawling up to 62 degrees. dallas getting up to 68 by the time we get to saturday.

individuals. we sincerely apologize as we had absolutely no intention to offend anyone. >> the brand did the right thing for apologizing quickly. this is an enormous opportunity for the company. they don't want to mess that up. >> reporter: this isn't the first controversial outfit from victoria's secret. some saying their sexy little geisha, wild thing and country girl outfits promote stereotypes. but another designer, paul frank was accused of another this september. and earlier this months, rock was no doubt fulled their controversial video "looking hot" from the web, the very day after its release. >> i'm surprised that following the controversy of the no doubt video that no one within victoria's secret realized we could be having a repeat performance. >> reporter: karlie kloss, the

can cover your teeth and protect them from stains. this stuff is preventing stains. great excuse for wine and cheese. snack on a cube before drinking your wine. the cheese coats the teeth with a film that guards against stains. now, for my very unscientific experiment. wine, cheese. my right front teeth have cheese on them. the left, don't. the left side has more spots from wine residue. now, for home remedies. try rubbing the white part of an orange peel on your teeth. now, add a little lemon juice to baking soda. you get your own whitening kit. >> the baking soda can be very abrasive. if you are going to do this, it should be very limited. >> reporter: are my teeth whiter? you be the judge. at least i ate healthy, had delicious hors d'oeuvres. and now, fresh breath.

for "good morning america," becky worley, abc news, oakland, california. >> look at those pearly whites. we're joined by greta monahan. thanks for coming. you brought examples. >> these foods are naturally abrasive. becky touched on apples and core rats and celery. all of the raw vegetables, they scrub your teeth. think of them as nature's toothbrush. >> and you will see a difference? >> absolutely. they scrub away and work while you're eating. >> why would we have red wine in a whitening segment? >> it's one of the biggest culprits next to coffee. one of the things she was talking about is hard cheese. milk and dairy products have lactic acid, lara. like a skin peel, they exfoliate your teeth. dairy products being, if you eat a piece of cheese before, you're protecting the red wine. but also on the milk, add it to

your coffee and it protects the protective film on your teeth so it's loose for staining. >> that's a great tip. these are the blockers. >> and the green leafy, is also, not many people realize. but kale, broccoli, base basil, contains a film on the teeth. >> normally, when you say film on the teeth. >> it sounds nasty. >> but this is a good thing. >> here, you have the acid group. these are the lifters. lemons and oranges, all lift off, just like your dishes. what you may not know is strawberries contain acids. rub them on. eat them. they're great for your teeth. >> we want to thank you, greta, for being with us. coming up, a scathing review for guy fieri's restaurant just down the block.

massive 500-seat, 3-story spectacle, has been chopped to shreds by restaurant critic, pete wells of "the new york times." what some are calling the meanest or the best review ever. wells offers fieri a first person review. offer asking the chef scathing questions. when you hung that sign by the intans that says welcome to flavor town, were you just messing with our heads? and did you notice that the menu was an unreliable predictor of what actually came to the table? here, we have the calamari, which he calls unsalted squid rings. i'm no restaurant critic. but late tuesday, i ordered some of the dishes the paper picked apart, to see if the food could possibly be as bad as the latest assault suggests. not unsalted. but not the best calamari we

have. the awesome pretzel chicken tenders that taste like chewy air. not awful. these are the fries that he says walked down a long, refrigerated hall. they are actually greasy. but they're not cold. they're hot and spicy. after dinner, we thought it was only fair to get the manager's take on all the criticism. >> it seems less factual and more personal than i feel was necessary. >> reporter: wells tells abc news, he stands by his review. but many are now asking if fieri is, indeed, getting his just desserts. >> it's delicious. >> reporter: or if this is a case of power grapes. fieri did not give us a comment or response. about a month ago to address the niche onslaught of critics. we can't have eight restaurants doing it wrong or at least that wrong. >> scathing. >> thanks so much for braving that food there. we appreciate it. let's get a last look at the
